What Kind of Food
Any good quality food will not have Corn listed in the first 5 ingredients. Corn is a cheap filler, makes the fish fat and is bad in general. The first ingredient should be fish, fish meal or other fish type product.
You can also feed your Koi any fresh fruit of veggies
Best Practices for Feeding
It is better to feed a few small meals a day rather than one or two larger meals. Koi do not have stomachs so what goes in one end is passing right through the other end. So, they could eat 24/7. The problem is if you over feed you stand a very good chance of polluting the water and that will bring on its own set of problems.
